What is the range of the function f(x) = –2|x + 1|?

all real numbers
all real numbers less than or equal to 0
all real numbers less than or equal to 1
all real numbers greater than or equal to 1

Range all real numbers less than or equal to 0 ( - ∞ , 0 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

For visual understanding a graph of the  function is attached with the answer.

For example: x has a range of ( - ∞ , + ∞ ) but |x| has a range of [ 0 , + ∞ ). Similarly range of |x + 1| is [ 0 , + ∞ ).

For example: Range of |x| is [ 0 , + ∞ ) but range of -|x| is ( - ∞ , 0 ]. Similarly range of -|x + 1| is ( - ∞ , 0 ]

Therefore the range of f(x) = -2|x + 1| will be ( - ∞ , 0 ].

(NOTE : [a,b] means all the numbers between 'a' and 'b' including 'a' and 'b'.

(a,b) means all the numbers between 'a' and 'b' excluding 'a' and 'b'.

(a,b] means all the numbers between 'a' and 'b' including only 'b' not 'a'.

[a,b) means all the numbers between 'a' and 'b' including only 'a' not 'b'.

{a,b} means only 'a' and 'b'.

{a,b] or (a,b} doesn't mean anything. )

B

Step-by-step explanation:

all real numbers less than or equal to 0

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
